Why delete_lock_rule is rated Critical
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a system configuration element (a lock rule). Lock rules typically govern access control and data protection policies. Deleting such a rule cannot be undone and would immediately alter system security posture or data access permissions. This makes it Destructive rather than Write, as the action cannot be easily reverted.
